It only goes to say that the higher you can get with your telescope, the better images you will get. That's why you might want to try making a homemade roof mount for your telescope so that you can see more images at a better clarity rate.
All right, let's have a virtual show of hands - how many of you armchair astronomers up there had tried climbing on the top of their roof to get a better view of the sky? If you said yes, that's all right because I've done the same back in the day. Because what amateur astronomer wouldn't want a better view of the sky by moving up close? So it's also common sense that a roof mount for your telescope would further enhance the images you view on your device.
Buying a roof mount for your telescope is always an option, but how about making a homemade mount instead that could be sturdier in the long run? All you need is some lumber and nails along with a little know-how!
Now that you've got your supplies, your wood and your nails, then it's time to get crackin' and focus on one thing - stability. Go with the flow of the roof's design and don't try to change its shape or design. Mold your lumber and base your design on the type of roof that you have at home. A homemade telescope roof mount should be stable which is why you should embrace the roof and not try to alter anything about it.
Your homemade roof mount must be made out of nothing but quality supplies. Regardless whether you own a trusty, rusty telescope or have just broken the bank on a shiny new one, you'll need only the best place to mount it! You won't be storing the telescope outside so your roof mount should be easy to use and easily accessible. Your name isn't Tarzan, so don't make the mount impossible to reach. You should only have a roof mount for your telescope when it is easy to get to with little effort.
There are a dime a dozen building plans for a homemade telescope roof mount you can research on. You can borrow a book from the library on the subject, or surf the 'net and get some nice, free plans. Of course, you will want to have a little bit of building experience before you try to undertake this project, so proceed with caution and build with strength.
Finally mounting your telescope on the roof of your house is an experience to be cherished. It is rewarding and gives you a positive feeling of accomplishment that always comes with creating something on your own. Add to your adventures exploring the cosmos and your astronomy hobby can become more exciting than it already is right now.
